Eligibility For Financial Aid

Student financial aid is offered to assist in making higher education a reality for those who would be unable to attend college without financial assistance. In general, eligible students must:

be accepted for enrollment at Thomas University

maintain satisfactory academic progress

Different types of financial aid may have additional specific requirements. For instance, federal and state aid programs also require students to meet the following criteria:

be a U.S. citizen or an eligible non-citizen

be in compliance with the U.S. Selective Service System requirements

not be in default or owe a refund on a federal or state financial aid program

not be in violation of the Georgia Drug-Free Act or the Higher Education Act of 1965 as amended in regards to drug conviction

Your financial aid information must be completed and on file each academic year before aid is awarded. All applications for financial aid should be completed as early as possible prior to the semester you plan to attend.

The application period for most Thomas University scholarships is February 1 — June 1. Interested students should submit the appropriate scholarship application, along with any other required documents, to the Office of Financial Aid. You can find more details about these scholarships here.

Please note that changes in enrollment can affect your eligibility for grants, scholarships, and loans. Please review the information for each aid type for more information.
